Energy Department contractor North Wind Group, of Idaho Falls, Idaho, said Friday it has acquired fellow DOE contractor Portage, also of Idaho Falls, in an all-stock deal.
Other terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
Portage will operate as a North Wind subsidiary, bringing the parent company’s headcount to about 1,100 employees, according to a North Wind press release. Roy McKinney, previously a Portage vice president, was appointed the president and general manager of the new North Wind-Portage.
Portage provides engineering, environmental remediation, and technical services to DOE sites including: the Idaho National Laboratory, near Idaho Falls; the Los Alamos National Laboratory in Los Alamos, N.M.; Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory in Schenectady, N.Y.; the now-remediated Mound site in Harrison, Ohio; and the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Paducah, Ky.
North Wind, a subsidiary of Alaska native corporation Cook Inlet Region Inc., provides many of the same services for nuclear cleanup programs managed by DOE’s Office of Environmental Management.
